IC 5337 or JW100, is a spiral galaxy located 800 million light-years away from the Solar System in the constellation of Pegasus. It is probably gravitationally bound to IC 5338, the brightest cluster galaxy in Abell 2626. IC 5337 is a jellyfish galaxy, mainly due to dynamic stripping pressure. Star-forming gas are thrown about, as the galaxy penetrates through the thin gas layer and causing them to drip from the galaxy's disc, giving it its unique appearance of a cosmic jellyfish. In the image, other galaxies can be seen in the background.
